Long waterline expansion?

[Thefencemedic]

Sorry to have asked so many questions. Expanding an existing 2” waterline on our farm and will be installing about 1000’ of 2” pvc and was curious if there are any concerns about expansion/contraction?

The line will have a gentle change in direction about halfway but mostly straight and will be about a 1’ below frost line. Seems that most expansion concerns are with PVC conduit exposed to sunlight and hot water lines but wanted to make sure I am not missing anything.

Thanks for the time.

Buried non heated pipe doesn't change that much because the ground only varies a few degrees between summer and winter. Call a company that deals with expansion fittings what they want the pipe to be buried in.

There is a concern. There used to be a nice document, but that is gone.

The deal, as I remember, is to not have long straight runs, but to add some jogs. I don't remember how far was a good run.

You might want to consider SIDR polyethylene pipe. https://www.menards.com/main/search.html?search=sidr

With that, you don't pull it tight in the trench, but rather snake the pipe a bit.
